Lets see, our dollar is worth more than yours, we have a plentitude of natural resources (oil, lumber, gold, and even clean water)  and our major industry doesn't involve murdering Iraqies.</body>

        <body>The movie is Sahara..... 
I love Cussler books, though the earlier ones were better.

Yep, agree.  My favorite is still &amp;quot;Treasure&amp;quot;, the first one of his books I read.  Have you read any of the Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child books?  Now that's some good stuff...</body>

  <body>&lt;p&gt;Bears coach &lt;strong&gt;Lovie Smith&lt;/strong&gt; says he is prepared to let QBs &lt;strong&gt;Rex Grossman&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Kyle Orton&lt;/strong&gt; compete for the starting job all the way through the final preseason game. It&amp;#39;ll be like &lt;strong&gt;Ali&lt;/strong&gt;-&lt;strong&gt;Frazier&lt;/strong&gt;. Well, maybe more like &lt;strong&gt;Frank Bruno&lt;/strong&gt;-&lt;strong&gt;Carl &amp;quot;The Truth&amp;quot; Williams&lt;/strong&gt;. But exciting nonetheless.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In our never-ending quest to dispense unsolicited advice, here are some suggestions for Smith on how to pick his QB:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10.&lt;/strong&gt; Whoever survives a boat trip with &lt;strong&gt;Cedric Benson&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9.&lt;/strong&gt; Shots of Jack Daniels (advantage, Orton)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8.&lt;/strong&gt; Wait for inevitable un-retirement of &lt;strong&gt;Brett Favre&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7.&lt;/strong&gt; Fan balloting (including the deceased, of course)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6.&lt;/strong&gt; Flies-shagging competition vs. &lt;strong&gt;Alfonso Soriano&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5.&lt;/strong&gt; The one with the most &lt;strong&gt;Manning&lt;/strong&gt; blood&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;/strong&gt; Leave it up to the superdelegates&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;/strong&gt; Why did we get rid of the single-wing again?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;/strong&gt; First to get his QB rating into double digits&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;/strong&gt; The guy who stinks the least&lt;/p&gt;</body>
